Michael Mcdonald and Patti LaBelle - On My Own LIVE!

[sceetsceet03]

Michael Mcdonald was blessed with soul that even some black soul singers don't have. Him holding his own on the same stage as the incredible Ms. Labelle is proof of that. Go ahead white boi

[DoctorSuperSeven]

Patty and Mikel in a Wonderfull Song, very Fine Artists

[hmxr715]

I'm so glad they got to meet face to face albeit years later. Wonderful song.



[buzzcut101]

Damn they are too freakin good together and on their own-Patti looks so darn HOT!

[officialexroisten]

Damn Pattie so good she SANG over people even when she dont meen to lol

[bigwm]

Two great artists and a shout out to the bassist Nathan East, he killed it on the low end!

[NapaValleyEstates]

what a great voice MM has... and it has held up!

[Hawkinsdonovan]

give this man a bet award one of the greatest soul singers of all time

[TheAngelwings123]

Fantastic song I love it.

In my favs now.

[jpoplover350]

That note at 3:00 HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE! She is a MUSICAL GENIUS!

[zack2j31]

my goodness micheal mcdonald awessommeee

[smokeyvelvet42]

Only one word for this is " AWSOME"

[ferrabraz06]

1986 ano mágico, músicas maravilhosas...

[BlackieMiles1]

What harmony! My favorite music is the Power Ballad...they are timeless! 5 stars...

[Flynn625]

great

[JacksonObamafan4life]

I bet them white people was thinking, " My Sweet Lordy Lord, this lady really is the shit!" LOL(joke)...Patti was working that stage, especially that dress.

[JacksonObamafan4life]

They both sounded great, especially Patti, but Michael sounded like he was having an asthma attack...of course he always sounds like that, so whatever.

[jony21456]

Anyone know the date of the video?

[alovekellz]

LOVE MICHAEL'S UNIQUE VOICE & DELIVERANCE OF LYRICAL TALENT......

[goldheartbadge]

This song was co-written by Burt Bacharach, who must be the greatest songwriter EVER. His then wife, Carole Bayer Sager, wrote the lyric.

[MrAlex3132003]

she lost alotta weight, how old is this???

[jpoplover350]

that note from 2:59 to 3:03 unbelievable!

[mamamary517]

great song..."but it once was so easy" wonder what happens....

[ILuvMusic4real]

Patti was feelin it.

[kezie666666]

awesome duet

[1478908]

Can you imagine the amazing wonder music baby those two could have made?It would propably end world hunger and solve the huge ass ever growin debt problem all in one rose smelling pass of gas.God isn't America beautiful? L.H.B.

[jmg4314]

LOL, nobody on Idol or Lady Gag Gag, Fergie, etc. come close to this kind of talent. unfortunately the mold has been thrown away and what the young recognize as talent in todays world would not have gotten a second look in the 70's and 80's.

[DenasMomma]

Two attractive people - two great voices-loved Patti's dress-Michael is so handsome!-krw

[AHirschenhofer]

Poetry in motion, what a wonderful duo;c)

[vezina333]

And now we have Myley Cyrus and Justin Bieber. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

[jamm210]

@vezina333 hahaha omg sooo right. from musical geniuses (Patti n such) to deaf puppets (bieber). The music industry really is going downhill, and fast.

Great & real talent doesnt mean anything nowadays. As long as you've got an ass to shake or lil tween skanks to feed you're a singer!?!?!?! wtf is wrong with society and the music industry!!

You ppl need ta slap yourselves! and get your acts together and start producing 'real' music again.

[holguineddie]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[beaconmike]

I just wondered when Patti was going to take off and fly like a bird? Not so sure she even sang a single word of the song................just wailing over an over in different keys. Yes, the song was powerful, but Patti just went over the top and kind of ruined it. Listen to the studio cut and you will see the differences.

[ThrowbackSoul]

Now thats a live performance! Just to say in response to some comments..Patti did not overpower Michael McDonald in fact she showed incredible restraint, she was lost in the moment and sang from the Soul, allowing Michael McDonald to lead much of the song. Powerful and this song has to rated as one the all-time pop duets/love ballads.

[Nightjourney90210]

That Patti is so extra. I went to one of his concerts once and you couldn't sing along because of the way he improvised his lyrics live. Now I know Patti does the same thing so I thought them doing this song live would be fine, them both going at it. But she just screeches over him and he's like 'would you like to be alone?'

[lingketon]

both have amazing voices but are so opposite to each other as performers. pati is just being patti and michael's voice can hold its own against hers!

[K9COP282]

JUST LIKE PATTI LABELLE!!!!!!!!!!! BE DAMN IF SOMEBODY ELSE SING WITH HER!! SHE'S ALL ABOUT HER DAMNM SELF AND WILL SCREAM OVER ANYONE TO MAKE SURE SHE IS THE ONLY DAMN ONE HEARD!!! WHAT A HUGE DISERVICE TO SUCH A GREAT SINGER LIKE MICHAEL MCDONALD!!

[jpoplover350]

@K9COP282 WHAT? THIS IS PATTI LABELLE'S SONG LMFAO! GTFO of her with that. Patti Labelle is a LEGEND. SHE ISN'T SCREAMING. That is her voice register.

[polo777us]

This is a good video and song

[TheNifie]

Sweet friend, you are my angel. Stay ok in heaven. This is for you always. kisss

God bless you. 

[shazamcomics]

This Live version sounded much better than the original but thought MM had a smaller role than in the original. Patti seems to be just taking control of the stage. XD

[stefflmrk]

So amazing and such a true and easy listening song.... GREAT!!

[pichicago]

What ever happened to good music like this is right. Long gone. Thanks for posting this video.

[DOCTORSTROKE]

she should have let this man sing to her

[ralfstefan]

his voice is so beautiful

[DaxShaw]

Patti hogs parts of this,there is literally one part when he's about to start but she's not finished and she rarely lets him have a solo without jumping in on it. I think she loves performing and gets carried away

[islezeus]

@DaxShaw Well, I agree with you and she is too selfish, it's a duet not a solo and she should try to compliment him as he should her, not overpower him. In the end, the performance was missing something

[goldenfro2]

luv this song!

[tasiawood]

i love patti so much

[Pjinxtreme]

As a musician of the old school culture...I understand and Love the purity of this music...these two voices made the world go round...then some stupid producer just screwed things up...and call the new crap "Pop Stars"...so why don`t they pop away...Only the best of music like this should ever be heard...

[kerek19]

this is AMAZING patti looks stunning and michael is a talent to die for just beautiful

[clippylynn]

everttime i watch patti perform i believe she is going to take off and fly!!! i love her.

[kiwibadboy]

I love this amazing good

[11patience]

Best duet ever!!!

[lloveyou12610]

i really love this duet version of 2 best singers in the world, deserved an applause, so great, astounding ... michael has a very loving voice, i love this guy, his voice!

and patti the gorgeous singer, walang kupas is the right term for them!

[ocdrumboy1]

someone count 1 wrong in the beggining? or maybe that hit on 2 was supposed to happen! sounds great! all my favortie players!

[patyfreire71]

I m loving you Michael!

[jcespinosam]

Que maravilla de cancion. Un duo supremo!!!

[salfordprowler]

he was magnificent last night in manchester!!!!

[MsNeo75]

I saw Michael McDonald and Al Green live last night at Manchester M.E.N....Michael sang this song with Jaki Graham....was brilliant, fantastic night :)

[ejel100]

God bless em both ..... legends!

[tyfanonline]

Simply brilliant....

[Holgi1403]

what a voice.....michael ....i´m a fan since 1985!

[bounuca5]

This is a toe-curling performance!!!

[islezeus]

Patti said when recording this song the only person who came to mind to duet with was Michael... wise choice Patti

[ph1lanthrope]

Got the goosebumps with this performance!!

[fallawayay]

Anyone would have to be brave to do a duet w/ thee Patty L. She easily requires a stage 'on her own'!!...and Michael Mc. pulls it off beautifully...he gladly lets her shine & shine some more (is she still singing? ha), while still getting his groove on ...a downright gorgeous tune. TIMELESS!!

[1jannurse]

My man, Michael and Patti...lol xoxox Jan

[neurofire]

Boy - talk about vocal athletics. Abso Fabo.

[shlyanth]

On My Own! 80's classic forever!

[TheRegina007]

he is sexy as heck!!

[kingofdaundaworld]

Amazing...Michael has a unique voice, been loving it for decades...AND PATTI IS A BEAST ALL THE ACTION IN THIS SONG IS HER, HIGHS AND ADLIBS, THIS IS A CLASSIC. CLASSIC....

[Tejano44]

ADAGBEL , true !

[ArchonSpire]

Patti LaBelle is a queen in my heart.... Love those adlibs

Sing it for me hon...

[jtmoney1974]

brings back memories of being a kid and listening to my dad's play his 45's

[ranchroper1974]

oh...my heart.

[maggymayi2]

Made my best friend dance to this about seven times in a row when I seperated from husband over 23 years ago. I cried and he let me. What a song it just tells it like it is. Remarried an happy time heals but when I hear this song Im am back in 1986 cring my eyes out.

[Tejano44]

maggmayI2, you did the right thing . Listen to this oldie , Sunny and the sunliners , The one who is hurting is you . Maybe he will admit that he lost a good thing .

[kingofdaundaworld]

Wow...

[sethleft]

....Patty's hogg'in the stage...

[ScrittiSparkle]

[Tejano44]

Svritti Sparkle , True Friends are looking for you too . I have so , so, many friends and they are a treasure . This is the lesson my dear beloved mother taught me .

[ScrittiSparkle]

[Ms198669]

[54jazzylady]

to bad we don't get music like this no more people today don't know what music is

[Colonel30]

Michael McDonald has the most incredible tone to his voice - he is one smooth guy - They don't make duets like this anymore

[kdrayf01]

@Colonel30 That is exactly right!

[Slickhousevic]

What ever happen to good music like this.

[MieserAlsMies]

@Slickhousevic the illuminati (or elite people) took over the music buisness to corrupt the minds of young childs! sounds crazy but its true

[Maws78]

Dannatamente sublime.....

[giorgia0373]

semplicemente fantastica...fa vibrare emozioni a volte solo sopite... per paura di venir fuori... ma come si fa a fermare un cuore che batte....

[krusfire]

awesome song and performance

[pytko3]

When I was watching American Idol 2006, there were 2 contestants that would have done a good job singing this song together the way Patti and Michael do. The 2 contestants were Taylor Hicks and Mandesa.

[coreyduck]

haha ~ why their have chinese subtitle~ ?

[donohuem]

Patti is a force of nature!

[hope518]

wow they've got beautiful voices. but if pattie keep doin that shit she gon' raise her blood pressure up.

[bosbal]

Very good song thanks for posting!!!

[TheAngelEyes5]

exceptional song... one of my favourites.

Thankyou.

great video too.

[hotchilli75]

can the world ever have these kind of artists/songs again? they sang with so much passion and the songs do touch u so much. the 80s was the peak.

[cubbiefaniam]

Amen

[angelaspaz]

I Like Patti Labelle, but sometimes she relies a lot on her high notes... Maybe that's what keeps her going :)

Whatever, still like her. No words can describe Michael McDonalds voice, it's almost addicting

Love to them both

[vanessa4u4evr]

Sing children sing. These kids today ain't got it like this. So sing, sing your hearts out Michael and Patti, so that we never forget there was a time when people let it rip from their souls.

[rokitka11]

Ta piosenka jest przepiękna a wykonanie na najwyższym świetowym poziomie !

[panamaerin]

I hate it when they change they songs from the original recording. I love the original version better.  Patti looks good on this video...for her age.

[chavnast6969]

shit hot song

[deereyes5]

Exceptional song... and two great singers.

[nudapapimami]

is this the first time they did this together? i know as of the video, they'd not been in the same space performing this song....all recorded on separate coasts...

[busadan01]

love,,, why i need more...me basta con este somg,,,a great song,,,

[bfly58]

Love this one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[twiztidlestat]

Wow, This was always such a powerful song, and to hear it live is amazing

They dont over power each other at all, Its amazing

[goddessmilan]

I loved this but I have to disagree with the over powering part, just a little. Patti could have given Michael a chance to blow at the end like he does on the recording, but whatever, It's still two of the most beautiful voices of all time coming together. I can't complain about that. :)

Listen to the original recording and then this video and you'll see what I mean.

[highmelanie]

true love...this is

[siigifxcking]

big song

[stylecollective]

Oh no Patti is ROCKING a spilt upher dress!!!! You go, Ms. Patti! I should only HOPE my legs will look that good at her age!

[Csbd948]

I saw the actual video to this.  While watching, I was really hoping that one would come to the other. That would have made the video amazing. Both of them in the same video was good enough.

[celoy7]

i love this song...one of my favorite love song...they both have beautiful voices...

[lucnorman]

hermosa cancion y no sabia quienes la cantaban

[cecypolo]

Michael Mcdonald is very hot!

[sexy1on4]

[jsbefc]

michael mcdonald is the best male vocalist in the world fact !

[dionboltonand80s]

great performance of two great singers in the world. i love patti she sound supreme.She has a voice similar to aretha franklin and chaka khan.but i think shes the most powerful vocal ive ever heard...anyway i love them all.

[Niacaraboo]

OMG, They sound so great together.

[MES4U]

God, I LOVE this song

[Kisha8806]

I love how their voices blend together...that song was written for, two ppl with incredible voices, to sing and those two ppl just so happened to be the one and only Patti LaBelle and Michael McDonald...BRILLIANT!

[blasturass]

This is killer! Both sound great.
